The Crossing (2015)	comment	The Crossing is a 2015 crime novel by Michael Connelly featuring Harry Bosch, Connelly's most frequent protagonist.Bosch is now a former LAPD detective, having been forced into retirement at the end of The Burning Room. Bosch is at loose ends when his half-brother, defense attorney Mickey Haller, offers Harry some work. Haller has a client named DaQuan Foster who has been arrested for the brutal rape and murder of West Hollywood resident Alexandra Parks. Haller thinks Foster was set up and begs Harry to take the case. Bosch is reluctant, as he spent his whole life putting killers in jail, but after Haller promises he can take the truth wherever it leads, Harry takes the case. He winds up following the evidence to two Hollywood LAPD cops, Ellis and Long, who have been leaving a trail of bodies all over Los Angeles.

And towards the end when Ellis kills the porn girls, he takes pictures after, and feels disappointed that they don't look all that dead due to their extensive facial plastic surgery.

The Crossing (2015) / int_9dab0a6e	type	Continuity Nod
The Crossing (2015) / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: Mickey Haller wants to hire Harry Bosch as a private investigator and Harry says Mickey is "not the first one to ask". Another criminal defense attorney asked it in Lost Light. Bosch visits the VA Hospital and remembers having once gone there after suffering a gunshot wound. This is a reference to events in the first Bosch novel, The Black Echo. One of the bad guys comments to the other that Bosch's house is nicer than one might expect on a cop's salary. Earlier novels had established that a movie had been made out of one of Bosch's cases, and he got a big check which he used to buy his cantilevered house in the Hollywood Hills. When Bosch meets up with old partner Lucia Soto he remembers her arm with its tattoo: a list of names. That's key to the plot of The Burning Room. Another appearance of Carmen Hinojos, the psychiatrist working with the LAPD who gives Harry Bosch therapy in The Last Coyote and does the same for Harry's daughter Madeline in 9 Dragons. Detective Nancy Mendenhall, the Internal Affairs cop who saved Harry's life in The Black Box, returns, this time investigating Ellis and Long. She winds up saving Harry's life again.
